Brush your teeth frequently in the morning and evening, but go to check but be told by the doctor that there are tooth decay, I believe that most of the friends have such confusion:
Why do I get tooth decay even though I try to brush my teeth every day? ”
Eating the same and brushing my teeth, why do I have several cavities while others are fine? ”
Teeth are relatively hard and wear-resistant organs in the body, so why do they have tooth decay? ”
Even though I brushed my teeth carefully, I still found the door with tooth decay? Perhaps we can find the answer from the following reasons.
1.Brushing your teeth incorrectly
If you don't brush your teeth in the right way, even if you brush your teeth every day, it's "ineffective brushing"! For example, some people do not brush their teeth seriously, only brush the surface of their teeth, but ignore the places where dirt and bacteria are easy to remain, such as between the teeth and the side of the tongue, which can still lead to tooth decay and even periodontal disease and other oral diseases in the long run. In addition, brushing too short a time and not choosing the right brushing tool are also the reasons for tooth decay caused by inadequate oral cleaning.
2.There is a cleaning blind spot in the teeth
Brushing your teeth every day can only play a basic role in self-cleaning, and some plaque that remains in the gaps between your teeth, gum line and other dead corners is difficult to clean. Therefore, regular teeth cleaning is essential for true dental care.
3.The condition of the tooth itself
Everyone's constitution is different, and the risk of caries is also different. For example, some people have sapped tooth enamel and low mineralization, so they have poor resistance to tooth decay and are prone to tooth decay. In addition, the position, shape and structure of the tooth itself are also factors that affect tooth decay, such as crowded teeth, uneven alignment, etc., which can easily lead to food impaction, which is difficult to clean, and tooth decay will occur over time.
4.Poor eating habits
Nowadays, everyone's diet is becoming more and more refined, especially the intake of high-sugar foods such as desserts, milk tea, carbonated drinks, etc., which greatly increases, resulting in the metabolic generation of cariogenic bacteria in the mouth, producing a large number of organic acids, eroding teeth, and eventually greatly increasing the probability of tooth decay.
